No. I don't care if it's "weeaboo" shit. You don't fucking throw somebody in a mental hospital for reading a book. This is bullshit, and you people are fucking bigots. For the most part, I hate most anime/manga, but you people are terrible.

She is not some sort of hero, getting rid of the "weeaboo" in our youth, she's a batshit insane mother who'd love to indoctrinate her child.

This is wrong. Go ahead and hate weeaboos on a personal level, that's what I do. But forcing them to give up this shit is just fucking tyranny.

At the very most, she should have taken the book since it was apparently pornographic in nature. (Or at least, that's what I'm getting from this.)

Wow... you don't put your kid into a mental hospital for reading books, and I don't believe that the kid seriously became insane for reading a manga, the kid must have had some problems with his mentality before that if he becomes insane for reading a damn manga. Damn some moms are dumb beyond belief... im glad I have a mother who uses common sense.

They're just not interested in it, which is fine and understandable. But most of them have the mental capacity of a flea, and because of this, they think that everyone who enjoys any sort of anime/manga MUST be an annoying dickhat of a weeaboo.

And then they go on to say that these people should be punished for having an interest. Because you know, fuck freedom.

God damn. Trolls are trying way too hard in this thread, and people are falling for it. You'd think people would learn to ignore them, especially when they talk about anime and weeaboos.

Now, I would like to know exactly what Manga this kid picked up. You'd think if it was something for Adults only then they'd put it in a back room or something where kids can't get it. And the mom is retarded thinking that just because a kid looked up some book with some boobs in it means he has to be sent to a mental asylum.

Whether it was manga or not, whatever that book had could most likely be found in a non-Japanese fashion and still get him put into a mental house.

I bet that mother would freak out when that kid has to learn about reproductive cycles in school.

He most likely read a manga filled with sexual innuendos or overexaggerated gore.

Did he honestly think that his mother would accept that?

Not saying that anime sucks but he should really expect his mother to "BAWWWWWW" about that content.

I don't think they hate manga as much as they hate the people who like manga.
And the fact of the matter is that the people who obsess and take manga too far speak far louder than those that just simply enjoy it.
